FontGeek is a special kind of Geek
- him: ugh
- me: ?
- him: opened my resume in word 2003.. looks like ASS!!! compared to 07.. not just the layout, also i guess because of the font
- him: so i have to use an ugly font :( i hate that ppl insist on getting this in word!.. i want to throw up
- me: zomg try helvetica or something u will recover
- me: geek
- ...
- time passes
- ...
- him: i think tahoma is my only feasible option
- him: because there is no helvetica.. no idea what you're talking about
- me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica
- me: "Monotype's Arial, designed in 1982, while different from Helvetica in some few details, has identical character widths, and is indistinguishable by most non-specialists"
- him: i think on the web helvetica refers to a "family" of fonts
- me: ummmm
- me: sans-serif refers to a family of fonts
- me: but yes, if helvetica is not available, arial is used
- me: there is a family like that, but i believe that mac has a default font specifically called helvetica
- him: family ... grouping... a list of fonts that get replaced by others if available.. we agree :)
- me: but helvetica doesn't define a family, it is a first choice specific font, replaced with other options when not available
- me: sans serif is a family of similar styled fonts, all being equal
- him: ok i agree
- me: ok
- him: you are right
- me: so tahoma?

How a Web Design Goes Straight to Hell - The Oatmeal
(via kodewulf)
Sometimes my “friends” ask me to help with their “simple, one page website” for their great new idea du jour. After many years, I have finally learned my lesson. Recent convo:
Him: Hey I may have a business proposition for you! I need you to design me a simple, one-page website for this GREAT new business I’m starting.
Me: Thanks, but no thanks.
Him: I thought this was what your consulting business did?
Me: No, we do enterprise technology consulting, mostly regarding network infrastructure design.
Him: Same difference. So do you want to do it or not? Or refer me. We don’t really have a lot of money for design, but it should be really easy.
Me: http://www.intuit.com/website-building-software/
Him: Wow that’s great, thanks! I signed up.YesThisReallyHappened.

- me: And what ever happened to Angelina Jolie? She used to be so awesome.
- him: She's not awesome. What really good quality film has she *ever* been in?
- me: Um, hello? Hackers?
- him: <stares>
- me: Foxfire? Gia? Girl Interrupted?
- him: You just said "Hackers" was a great movie. I can't take anything you say seriously anymore.
- me: Oh, please... It was a cultural touchstone!

If I had a million friends, they'd all be com[p]edians.
- me: My braind isn't functioning today.
- him: braind? Your brain daemon?
- me: Not running.
- him: Restart the service.

- me: I had this scary dream last night where all these people - some of whom were maybe undead of some sort - were injecting horses with tranquilizer to immobilize them, then hauling them from the killing fields amidst bomb blasts. And i was trying desperately to protect .... a capybara? wtf?
- him: ....You were trying to protect a creature I didn't know existed.
- me: That's how i roll.
- him: At first i was like...did she mean chupacabra? So i googled it. Totally not a chupacabra.
- me: Totally not.

Turing Test Results: Questionable.
- Adriana: Thank you for contacting Time Warner Cable. At the end of our chat you will be given the option of taking a brief survey. My name is Adriana G. Please give me a moment while I access your account.
- Amber: ok
- Adriana: It is my understanding you would like to add Turbo Powerboost.
- Amber: Yes, but when I tried to add the service from my Account Panel, it indicated I would need to set up an appointment. Can you turn this service on remotely without needing someone to come out here physically?
- Adriana: I will be happy to assist you.
- Adriana: May I have your account number please?
- Amber: Shouldn't you have my account number, what with all the other information I gave you to initiate this chat session?
- Amber: /me sighs and digs for a bill
- Amber: I don't actually have one handy
- Adriana: Unfortunately, I do not have the account number.
- Adriana: I am able to add RR Turbo to your account from here.
- Amber: Because I did not have a paper bill nearby, I tried to execute this request online via chat so that needing an account number would not be necessary as I was logged in and authenticated to my account.
- Amber: <account number redacted>
- Adriana: Thank you for the information.
- Adriana: Do you want to add it?
- Amber: Yes please
- Amber: How soon does it go into effect?
- Amber: For what it's worth, the mbps rates that i'm seeing on my account are less than half the top speed I signed up for, so I'm augmenting with powerboost in hopes I'll hit somewhere near the speed I my basic service advertised.
- Adriana: It takes 24 hours.
- Amber: Ok, 24 hours is fine. Thank you.
- Adriana: You are welcome.
- Adriana: I have added it.
- Amber: Thank you.
- Adriana: You are welcome.
- Amber: Thank you.
- Adriana: You are welcome.
- Amber: Thank you.
- Adriana: You are welcome.
- Amber: Is there anything else you need from me?
- Adriana: Is there anything else I can help you with?
- Amber: Do you remember the name of the early chatbot that was fun to play with for a few minutes, but ultimately a terrible proxy for human conversation?
- Adriana: Excuse me but I do not understand you?
- Amber: Oh right... Eliza. Thanks a lot Adriana. Have a good night.
- Adriana: Same to you, thank you.
- Adriana: It has been my pleasure to assist you today!
- Adriana: Again, my name is Adriana G. Thank you for chatting with Time Warner Cable. We value you as a customer and we are here to assist you 24 hours a day , 7 days a week. If you would like to take brief survey please click on end session and the survey will load.
- Adriana: Analyst has closed chat and left the room

Your skill in blameshifting has increased by 1 point.
- him: I haven't read twitter in days....
- him: and it's because of you
- him: it's a complicated chain of dependencies
- me: me?! how is this my fault?!
- him: I don't want to use twitter and click on random links on my personal laptop, for security reasons
- -> I can only use twitter on my travel laptop
- -> I can't use my travel laptop until i wipe it and reinstall it after coming back from overseas, for security reasons
- -> I can't reinstall it until i move my tokyo pics off of it
- -> I can't move the pics until i delete most of them, to save space
- -> I can't delete them until i see which ones you're keeping, because i want to keep them in my aperture library too
- -> you haven't published the pics you're keeping on flickr yet
- me: holyshit
- me: ok. well i want you to read twitter someday, so i'll finish with the posting
- me: I got bored doing harajuku and ginza because of all the buildings....
- him: so ultimately it's my fault?
- him: I can't read twitter, because i took pictures of buildings?
- me: yes, exactly.
